Where is my object??

I am trying to make my layouts more pretty. So, I made a rounded-edge box to go around my text fields. Then I make the box a different color, and emboss it to make it stand out. Next I decide I want the background color to be black. So I select the header and body and make them black. Then, I send everything to the front so I can see it. It looks perfect.....that is until I switch to browse mode!!! The only thing I can see in Browse mode is my fields and buttons. The rest of the screen is black like I never sent the object to the front. I thought the fill pattern for my objects might be on transparent, but they are not. When I make the Body and Header color white, I can see the objects fine, but any other color I set to the body will yield the same effect. Could anyone explain what might be going on here?

First, you can't really send "everything" to the front. You need to think of the element on your layout as being like cards in a deck. If they are overlapping, the elements are layered top to bottom. You'll need to arrange them in the proper order to get them to appear the way you would like.

Hope this helps.
